If you go to the field guide, then click on "about hiking", there are a number of topics that are referred to in various hikes, including ticks
I also made a "lightweight backpacking" where I put a bunch of links, mostly from you grannyhiker. I kind of intended to put more there, but my attention span has drifted...

Re: "outdoor safety", discussion regarding a new forum
I'd be willing to weigh in on things too if people want my opinions. I don't think I've been shy about that in the past
A lot of "survival tips and tricks" articles have terrible terrible advice in them.. I've seen enough mistakes made over the years, made a few myself, and seen the results of those mistakes both good and bad.

that right there sums up any disclaimer.Crusak wrote:.....the fact that there isn't a single way to get 'er done when it comes to survival.
whoever volunteers to do a write up. There are no experts on survival, but only techniques that like Crusak eluded to there is no single way.... it would just be a good resource to document in one place those techniques.Jane wrote:My first concern is basic "authorship"; "who" do we use as the "expert?" someone(s) from here?
My thoughts on formatting the topic though is still with an 'article' that does not allow comments. I don't think it would be productive to allow them, after a TR or other discussion post here gets long enough I lose interest if the thread hasn't already drifted from the OP. I imagine that after a topic is posted, readers could start their own thread in the general section to discuss. From there, any errors could be exposed or worked out and the author could update/revise their topic.
just brainstorming here.
